After about 4 seconds, it has the same effect as "shutdown -p now" or "halt -p", that is, the video card stops working, the fans keep going, and the disk access light comes fully on. I am guessing that this 4 second delay is part of how FreeBSD wants it. If that is the case, it shows that the power button is working as it should - it is the power-down process that is not working right. -- Stephen Montgomery-Smith stephen@math.missouri.edu http://www.math.missouri.edu/~stephen
